I don't know...just b/c you're a Buddhist culture doesn't mean you aren't capable of acting inappropriately.

I don't think that Tibet in the early part of the 20th Century was a model of social equality...

I'm not condoning anything that China is doing...just saying that it wasn't sunshine and lollipops for your average Tibetan even before the latest Chinese occupation
